I really liked this story, it's funny, spicy, emotional and intriguing. It made me laugh and sigh, I found the reading fast-paced. and enjoyable. If you are a fan of second chance romances, this is perfect for you.

Stepping Stone, along with lovable characters and a fast-paced story, is mixed with heart, heat and sizzling tension all combined together to create a perfectly seasoned and steamy romance novel.

This novel is a real steamy delight. I couldn't put this book down.

Jenna and Marco are two people that I rooted for from the beginning!! This was a great story. PTSD should be properly addressed since so many of our military goes through this. That’s why I liked this story. It gives you such a look into the lives of the people affected. I highly recommend this story! It has all the feels and these main characters just have the “IT” factor.

For me this book had sooooo much potential! But I think it fell short becuase it was trying to incorporate too many different plots such as .. enemies to loves, jilted ex, lesbianism, poly, bisexual and they didnt really get explored in a way that they jived with the story. I like ALL of those but the story was too short to fully incorporate these so it felt awkward

Stepping Stone was interesting to read. Not exactly what I expected, but was a quick, easy, and entertaining read.

I hate to give a negative review but I couldn’t get into this book and I didn’t make it past the first five chapters. I went into it thinking the implied infidelity would be the thing I couldn’t get past but it was the choppy writing style and poor editing that did it for me. I won’t be posting this review elsewhere however I feel it would be remiss not to pass on this type of feedback to the publishers.

Ok, let me start by saying I tried to like this book but it just fell short for me. It felt skippy in a weird way, like choppy and jumbled. I also couldn't relate to the characters and I felt like there wasn't enough chemistry there..

A complimentary copy of this book was provided by NetGalley. Opinions and reviews are my own. Choppy but fun read. The characters were interesting and so I give it 3 stars for a read that is quick and has minimal depth.

This book was a lot of fun. It was such a cute second chance romance. The representation of ptsd and mental illness was done very well and respectfully. I enjoyed it. I found it witty and spicy and had a blast reading it.

A fun and spicy read that makes you think. Lots of suspense, love and laughter. A second chance romance full of heart.

This absolutely had all the right bits! I really liked the characters, the story, the chance at a second chance. I'm a sucker for those. The beginning didn't really catch my attention. In fact, I wasn't sure if I wanted to read much more. But the middle had all the right ingredients! Unfortunately, I don't know that it would win a bake off. Some moments seemed too much, while others seemed not enough. There was also a lot of unnecessary detail that I found myself skimming through a lot of times.

Sorry not my cup of tea…..
It’s neither one thing or another….
The transition between scenes needs displaying more…
The characters have little depth…
The sex scenes lack emotions.
Sorry, I hate giving negative reviews but it did not work for me…

For me this book was lack luster at best. The book was labeled erotica or romance though it was a romantic suspense. For me the book was not written well. There were absolutely no separations or ways to know the point of view changed in the book other than it was just a new paragraph and for me that was an issue.

Hilarious read. A lot of laughs. Also, the story was deeper compared to most normal novels with themes of mental health and PTSD.

Liv Arnold has a way with words— and this novel gets five hot chili peppers. And five shiny stars.

Along with lovable characters and a fast-paced story, Stepping Stone mixes heart, heat, and sizzling tension to create a perfectly seasoned and deliciously steamy romance novel.

I could not put this book down.

I felt that this book even if it was a BDSM erotic book was still quite conservative in some ways, or maybe it's just me but I enjoyed it. It didn't really stick out to me that's why I gave it three stars but I would still recommend it for an in-between read since it is fast-paced and easy to read for non-native speakers of the language.

This was an enjoyable read, though a little choppy with the storyline. I could see what the author was trying to do but it didn't feel seamless. It was still fluid, just a little choppy. I liked the characters and I wish there was a little more detail added to some of their storylines because I wanted more.
